The credit should go to my greatest colleague Steve Swales, aka the X.org chair, and his great engineers Ienup Sung, Hidetoshi Tajima, Chookij Vanatham, Prabhat Hegde and many who made this happen! > Can you guide us on how to obtain a preview - so we can learn, provide > input and build the CTL engines for other languages. Does the souece before porting to Linux(means only confirmed to be compilable on Solaris yet)? I think it would be just a week or so away from the build tested with XFree86 4.x build on Linux. Since the XomCTL is designed to be a part of XOM, the new interface visible to programmers is the new attributes on the existing XOM APIs to extend its capabilities. Current(probably only) big consumer of XomCTL is CDE. This is how Solaris(and other commercial UNIX) handles, say, Hindi, Japanese, Thai, Arabic mixture text on DtMail. But unfortunately CDE source is not freely distributable, we do not have the big source to show here except a sample program we used to test its functionality. Does such sample program help? -- hiura@{sun.com,li18nux.org,kondara.org,unicode.org} http://www.li18nux.org Chair, Li18nux/Linux Internationalization Initiative, Free Standards Group Architect/Sr. Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems, Inc, USA FAX 650-786-9553 > Once again, much appreciated. > > Regards, > Akber Choudhry > > On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Hideki Hiura wrote: > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hideki Hiura) > > > I pushed XomCTL to the opensourcing path for long time, and last time > > > I checked, all copyright holders signed to opensource XomCTL, but I > > > do not know what the obstacle remaining afterall.
